Classics Book Club

The Classics Book Club meets the second Wednesday of every month at King's Books. We have been meeting in Tacoma since 1994 and at King's Books since May 2011! We read a variety of classic works, from the ancient to modern. Each month, the selected book is available for purchase at King's Bookstore. To see what we're reading this month, go to the main Events page. If you have questions, please email sweet pea for more information.
